According meaning and usage

According means agreeing, in agreement, or harmonious. The definition points to a state of accord rather than an action, so “harmonious” is a concise way to remember the sense for this word.

The word has nine letters and is marked common. If you came here to check spelling or meaning, note the double C in the middle: it is easy to overlook when reading or forming the word.

According is listed in Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE. Those listings make it relevant across the English word-game dictionaries shown here, while its nine-letter length places it among longer plays rather than short letter-pattern checks.

How many Scrabble points is according worth?

According is worth 15 points before any board bonuses. Its two C tiles are worth 3 points apiece, contributing 6 points together; the other seven letters supply the remaining 9.

The full tile count is A 1, C 3, C 3, O 1, R 1, D 2, I 1, N 1 and G 2. That adds to 15, so the pair of C tiles—not a rare high-value letter—is the main scoring feature.
